European Removals in Kent
Moving from Kent to Europe? Hello Services provides European removals across Kent — a fully-insured, door-to-door service to France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain and beyond. From a few boxes to a full household, we handle the driving, the paperwork and the careful handling so your international move runs smoothly.
Your Kent European Moving Team
Relocating abroad is a big step, and the moving part shouldn’t be the stressful bit. Our Kent European removals team runs regular loads across the Channel to destinations all over the continent. Kent is the closest county in the UK to mainland Europe, with the Port of Dover and the Eurotunnel terminal on its doorstep. We collect from your door anywhere in Kent, drive directly to your new home in Europe, and unload with the same care we’d give a move down the road.
Whether you’re sending a part-load of furniture to a holiday home in France, relocating a full household to Spain, or moving for work to Germany or the Netherlands, we offer dedicated and shared-load options to suit your budget. Every move is fully insured for goods in transit, and we guide you through the customs and ToR1 paperwork so nothing holds your belongings up at the border.

- Dedicated van or cost-saving shared part-loads
- Full goods-in-transit and CMR insurance as standard
- Customs, ToR1 and inventory paperwork support

About European Removals in Kent
Kent’s position in the far south-east of England, with the Port of Dover and the Eurotunnel terminal on its doorstep, makes it one of the best-placed counties in the UK for moving to mainland Europe. That proximity means shorter crossings, lower transit costs and faster delivery times for households moving abroad from this corner of the South East.
Hello Services has built its European removals around that advantage. We combine local collection from anywhere in Kent with regular continental routes, so whether you’re emigrating, retiring abroad, relocating for work or furnishing a second home overseas, your belongings travel safely and arrive on schedule.
Kent European Removal FAQs
How much does a European removal from Kent cost?
Costs depend on the volume you’re moving and the distance to your destination. As a guide we base long-distance European pricing on £80 per hour of driving plus £1.50 per mile one way — see the destination table on this page for example prices to popular cities from Kent. Shared part-loads reduce the cost significantly.
Which European countries do you cover from Kent?
We regularly move from Kent to France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain and most of Western and Central Europe. If your destination isn’t listed, just ask — we can usually arrange it.
Do you handle the customs paperwork?
Yes. Since Brexit, household goods moving to the EU need an inventory and, for those relocating permanently, ToR1 (Transfer of Residence) relief. We guide you through the paperwork so your belongings clear customs without delay.
Can I share a van to save money?
Absolutely. Shared or part-load moves let you pay only for the van space you use on a scheduled European route, which is ideal for smaller Kent moves or second homes.
How far in advance should I book my Kent move?
For European moves we recommend booking two to four weeks ahead where possible, especially in summer. We can sometimes accommodate shorter notice on shared routes — get a quote and we’ll confirm availability.
Is my move insured?
Every European removal includes goods-in-transit and CMR insurance as standard, covering your belongings throughout the journey from Kent to your new home abroad.
